I apologise for joining a media circus but today it occurred to me that the same tech as visits Titanic is the tech we'll want for Venus' surface / low altitude, once we've got through the cloud deck.
In that light, Venereans will want the best tech and the best people available. Did Stockton Rush get the best people? Did OceanGate use the best materials?
Cernovich is right on this much: the tourists themselves (who weren't involved with the company) did nothing wrong. It is good to explore; it is so much better to explore on one's own dime, leaving taxpayers (as far possible) out of it.
But OceanGate, it seems, did not give good value for the dollar. At least the captain went down with the ship, I suppose.
DOWN THE WELL 8 PM MST: Oh, so we knew since Sunday.
